Sunday Ride - Hallett Cove

Well as one of the back markers I can testify both to the effects of a crosswind and the feeling of trying to close a gap that never seems to to close.  So I really feel for the riders on Stage 10. A little wind certainly shook up the TdF.

Anyway to Sunday's Ride, Hallett Cove via Anzac Highway 

Meet in the City at 8:00am

Last week Geoff, Mike and I turned up after a Whatsapp discussion  triggered by no rian on the radar. Unfortunately it was stealth rain and we called the ride off at Greenhill rd and went for coffee.

It looks like a excellent year for riding out from the city for viewing with only the Saturday stage looking a bit impractical to view by bike once it gets past Meadows. Stage 3 doubles back on itself and completes one of the Cudlee Creek loops in the opposite direction which took a bit of squinting and then looking at the point to point to figure out. However will be a great one to ride out and watch.

For those like me who use the Challenge tour as a bit of a fitness target. Its now back to the Friday stage and is fairly hard day in the saddle at 164km to Murray Bridge via Mannum with a shade under 1900m of climbing. KOM is at Prospect Hill.

Cliche!
